rocketom Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This might be an indicator on a leg in 2016. If the dvd comes out this year, the R40 tour is over. If you dont hear anything about the dvd release before winter, i would say a Spring leg of Europe is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOH Lights Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) To all who are holding out hope for more tour dates either in the US or abroad, now, or anytime in the future - IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Stop torturing yourselves and accept it. Howard knows it and tells it like it is. Geddy & Alex, for some reason, don't want to come right out and say it, but in their hearts, they know it's true. The Emperor, I mean... Neil, will NEVER make a formal announcement about it, but this is it for him, forever.

TexMike Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I can totally believe Neil wants to hang it up after August 1st and I'll be fine if that ends up being the case. He's earned his retirement. I'm still a little surprised though that he won't/wouldn't make some kind of 'goodbye/thanks for 40 years of support' official statement. I know he's always been a bit cold towards fans, but damn. That's kinda like being the person who tells you they're breaking up with you by simply not calling anymore. So I wonder if the "last tour of THIS magnitude" comment was added by Ged and Al either in hopes that Neil will eventually change his mind or as a way of softening the blow (of this being IT) for themselves.

No matter how many of you insist it should be otherwise. Sometimes people just want to head into retirement without fanfare. What makes any of you think that the members of Rush, given their humility to date, aren't like this? LOL, the only way some of you are going to accept their retirement is when one of them is absolutely no longer able to play, apparently.

upstateNYfan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I get the feeling they've known this is the end for several months but are not comfortable outright saying it. The seagull and the Exit Stage Left outro video seem prophetic. Ditto the tour book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOH Lights Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I bet it's gonna be quite emotional for Geddy when he says goodnight on August 1st.Believe it or not, there's already a TON of emotion in the Rush camp. I mean, you don't work, party, squabble, and tour with people for 40+ years, without developing some kind of feelings about it all - whether good or bad. The differences in attitudes/emotions backstage are pretty big. Neil is riding high and short of a little complaining about cutting his video right after a certain stick toss, he's never been happier. Geddy & Alex are kinda like the "parents", keeping on brave faces for sake of the family. There's even more mixed emotion with the crew. Some happy, some taking it in stride, and yes, some even have a little animosity. There is NO doubt that the final loadout and traditional end-of-tour party will be deeply emotional for everyone.

Tuesday's Gone Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 RUSH Roadtrips 2015 @RUSH_Roadtrips 20h20 hours ago I have a dozen reasons to no longer believe LA is the end of this tour. More details to come.... Eventually. @RUSH_Roadtrips Is this providing hope for European fans, or Stateside fans? Either way, would be great news.

Supersyl Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Geddy has vehemently said in numerous interviews that he is NOT anywhere ready to stop. He is not a stay at home/drinking scotch/making 13 year old gay jokes with his rent-a-cop buddy kinda guy... I'm sure it will hit him hard on August 2nd, and I am also sure he will quickly fall back on his feet and realize that there are TONS of musicians out there with whom he can make music.... And AWESOME music at THAT! (Since I'm convinced 90% of Rush's music come from him anyways...)
